What does "statute of limitations" mean?

 

A:

You may be asking yourself the following question: How much time do I have to file a lawsuit for my injuries or for the death of a loved one?  The rules that answer this question are called “Statutes of Limitations”.

These rules provide that if you don’t file a lawsuit within the time allotted, you can NEVER file a lawsuit to be compensated for your injuries or the death of a loved one.

Each state has its own Statutes of Limitations.  In addition, you may have a claim pursuant to a law of the United States which may contain its own unique statute of limitations.  Click here for a description of the statutes of limitations for injury and death claims in Pennsylvania.
